“Travel Bugs” A Geocaching.com Video

Travel Bugs® are Trackables that move from geocache to geocache. They are attached to “hitchhikers” that take many forms — everything from action figures to toy cars to cinder blocks. Travel Bugs are explorers and ambassadors that crisscross the world, gaining stories on each step of their trek.

My “story’s” similar, sourgum: I’ve launched 2 TB’s so far and one Geocoin, and the original TB (the 1st one) got stolen somewhere in Idaho, so then I re-started it with a different “hitchhiker” and the “copy” tag; the “hitchhiker” got stolen and the person who found the tag was nice enough to replace the “hitchhiker” for me and pass it along.

The Geocoin WAS somewhere in a cache in upstate NY and then the next thing I know, that cache’s owner is posting a note that the coin’s not been in that cache for at least a couple of weeks and listed it as “missing” (personally, I think they took it, but who am I to say?).
